Anderson, John, and Co. (John and Andrew Anderson), Engineers, Boilermakers, Iron Merchants, and Machinery Manufacturers, Lichfield Street, Christchurch; and at Lyttelton. P.O. Box 90. Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand. Established by the late Mr. John Anderson. The Canterbury Foundry and offices are situated in Lichfield Street on a freehold section of about an acre and a half, the building being of one and two stories in height. At Lyttelton the firm's branch establishment occupies over an acre of Harbour Board leasehold, both works being replete with all the most modern plant. Messrs. Anderson and Co. have constructed many bridges throughout the Colony, notably the Waititi in Auckland, and the Kapua and Makotuku viaducts in Wellington, besides railway and road bridges in Canterbury and Otago. They are large makers of mining dredges, boilers, steam-engines, cranes, and other heavy machinery. In railway construction they have built sections of the North Island Trunk, the Rakaia-Ashburton Forks, and the Midland lines. Messrs. Anderson and Co. are in receipt of heavy shipments of girder and pig iron, which enable them to carry on engineering work of all descriptions.
